Delta 8.7 cash transfer mapping report

Delta 8.7, the Knowledge Platform for the Alliance 8.7, seeks to expand the evidence base on effective measures. From October 2021–March 2022, Delta 8.7 undertook a cash transfer mapping exercise, specifically looking at the potential effectiveness of cash transfers to mitigate vulnerability to modern slavery. This consisted of desk-based research and interviews with policy actors and researchers from across three countries — Brazil, India and Nigeria. Building on broader efforts to monitor and evaluate social protection measures taken at a national, regional and global level during COVID-19, this project distinguishes itself by applying a slavery prevention lens to the use of cash transfers as a social protection measure.
